Complete the circles based on applications of Genetic Engineering

Genetic engineering is the process of introducing desirable genes into a crop that normally do not possess them. These new plants whose genes are modified are called transgenic plants. Desirable traits can be given to the plants such as :

l Herbicide resistance

l Increased photosynthetic ability involving better utilization of sunlight, especially during less sunny days

l Improving their ability to fix nitrogen from the soil without dependence on microorganisms which are mainly responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen into an absorbable form for plants

l Oil seeds such as soya seeds when rich in PUFA (healthy fat) helps patients suffering from heart disease

l Increased size of storage roots, seeds, and vegetables which would provide more calories and nutrients
